• Hey! First of all thanks for the great Plugin.

    I’ really looking forward using it but have a problem:
    I put the shortcode here: https://www.crafthive.eu/upload/ and tried it a few times.
    After trying for ages and also despite adding the form_layout=”post_image” into the shortcode I simply can’t upload normal posts. I also tried post_media, which also didn’t work.

    If I upload with this form the data it will always be send into the Media library WITHOUT creating a Post (i read that the pictures are always in the library and have to be approved but in this case not even a post is created).

    There is also no notifiying email (despite being checked) being send to me…

    Would be great If I got help here!

    Hey,

    Posts should be in Posts -> Manage UGC.

    Can you post your exact shortcode?

    Hey thanks for the quick reply!
    This is the short code:
    [fu-upload-form class=”your-class” title=”Lade Deinen Post hoch” form_layout=”post_image”]

    The posts don’t show up at “posts -> manage UGC”. That’s my problem.
    I tried different themes and also some of your custom shortcodes you posted here.
    If i don’t add a picture to the upload it doesn’t show up at all…

    In the settings I have only checked:
    Show author field yes X
    Enable Frontend Uploader for the following post types PostsX
    Enable visual editor for textareas X

    I really have no idea why this is not working…

    That was actually a bug, fixed it and pushed update, not sure what’s up with admin notification but i’ll look into it at some point.

    hey
    I updated the plugin but the problem is still there…
    Still with the stnadard short code with “post_image”

    I’m having the same problem, there’s no new posts being created when using the “post_image” portion in the shortcode

    I can’t reproduce the behavior now. Whether I submit with file or without file post is always there. Do you have “Auto-approve registered users files” or “Auto-approve any files” enabled in the plugin’s settings.

    Same problem here. If the submission does not have a picture, hitting ‘Submit’ will refresh the page and not show the success message. If it does have a picture, whatever the shortcode options are the image will go to Media Library, of ir not Auto-approved to ‘Manage UGC’ in Media Library with the text duplicated to ‘Caption’ and ‘Description’ fiels of that image there.

    Two things:
    1. Are you sure you’re running 0.7.5 version of the plugin?
    2. When you set “auto-approve” on it basically means files/posts will skip “manage ugc” screens and go straight into Media Library/All Posts

    Here’s how it looks for me on wp 3.9/fu 0.7.5:

    Hey guys, I also have the same problem ??
    If I look up for the upload in the mysql database, I can see the new post in the post database. But in the attribute “post_type” it’s always a attachment.
    If I change the post_type manually to “post”, I can see the new post in “manage ugc”.
    Maybe we can fix this together ;)?

    firewire, can you post your shortcode? what are the plugin settings? what’s the version of WP?

    Technically each media file is saved as attachment post type in WordPress.

    I tried different kind of shortcodes
    For example this one:
    [fu-upload-form class=”your-class” title=”Lade Deinen Post hoch” form_layout=”post”]

    Also with ‘form_layout=”post_image”

    Try switching to one of default themes (twentyfourteen for example) and disabling all plugins.

    Ok, so after reading all the support pages and trying lots of variants, it is now working. I have NO idea why the posts where only going to Media.
    Anyway, it is working now.
    For anyone interested, I am using a post_image (post + image optional) with this code:
    [fu-upload-form class=”your-class” title=”Share with us” form_layout=”post_image”]
    [input type=”text” name=”post_title” id=”title” class=”required” description=”Title” multiple=””]
    [textarea name=”post_content” class=”textarea” id=”ug_caption” class=”required” description=”Description”]
    [input type=”file” name=”photo” id=”ug_photo” description=”Image” multiple=””]
    [input type=”file” name=”photo” id=”ug_photo” description=”Image” multiple=””]
    [input type=”submit” class=”btn” value=”Send”]
    [/fu-upload-form]

    I am using TwentyFourteen, with no other plugins activated. My problem now: although the “class required” above, I can still send without the description. What could be wrong? Something with the code?
    I translated for my use, is there no way I could localize the success and error messages as well, editing the code perhaps? Not terribly important though.

    Thank you Rinat, your plugin and your work are remarkable.

    One more thing:
    When I paste a formatted text from another site or blog in the description field, the text extrapolates the post area (invading the grey area of the 2014 theme to the right). If you would like to see I can send an example or link by mail.

    I appreciate all your help and time dedicated to this.

    sergioeduardo,

    Glad you made it work. Do you have any access to your error log? If so, can you post it somewhere so I could take a look and see what’s up.
